It is believed that women may not orgasm as easily as men do, leading to fewer orgasms overall. However, this myth doesn't stand a chance because in reality several women may have more orgasms than their male partners during intercourse.

Women Need to be Emotionally attached to Have Sex

While most women seek emotional attachment with their partners, it may not always affect their sexuality. Women, just like men, can have sex just for the sake of it i.e. without the need for any emotional involvement. However, women living in male dominant societies will always tend to build emotional attachment before sex as they fear of being judged. Image Courtesy: Getty
